Tutor Perini tapped for $4B Capital Beltway project

Abstract

The state agency has estimated this first phase of construction will cost $3.75 billion to $4.25 billion. The overall cost is estimated at $11 billion or higher. When complete, the widening of I-270 and I-495 — also known as the Capital Beltway — will cover about 50 miles. The project has multiple components: Design and construction to replace and expand the American Legion Bridge. A losing bidder, Capital Express Mobility Partners is suing the Maryland DOT. The original construction partner, Archer Western, is suing The Maryland DOT over allegations that the agency’s procurement process was flawed. In addition, local planning and local planning groups and residents have fought the project on environmental grounds.
